My family likes to eat fajitas with chips,
and also with soft flour tortillas.
Spanish rice is a good side dish to serve with fajitas.

Fajita History
The fajita is truly a Tex-Mex food
(a blending of Texas cowboy and
Mexican panchero foods).
but history gives credit to Mexican ranch workers living in West Texas
(along the Rio Grande on the Texas-Mexico border)
in the late 1930s or early 1940s.
When a steer was butchered,
the workers were given the least desirable parts
to eat for partial payment of their wages.
Because of this,
the workers learned to make good use of a tough cut of beef known as skirt steak.
In Spanish, fajita is a form of the word faja which translates to "belt" or "girdle" in English.
The Mexican term for grilled skirt steak is arracheras, and its American counterpart is fajitas.
Today, the term fajita has completely lost its original meaning
and has come to describe just about anything that is cooked and served
rolled up in a soft flour tortilla.
The only true fajitas, however, are made from skirt steak.
